It's a totally fair question. I'm NYC based and have watched AA's presence in the region deteriorate while DL's has grown into a real hub. I held out hope for AA through the JetBlue/Northeast Alliance, but with that gone I really feel that I need to make a switch.
I did the same thing last fall, right before they closed the status matches, except I’m only PlatPro on AA so DL Plat is fine with me. Living in NY and LA, it’s been hard to stay loyal to AA so I’m splitting between the two airlines now.
